To @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID lV. WIATROUS, a citizen of the United States,residing at East Hampton, in the county of Middlesex and State ofConnecticut, have invented a'new and useful Toy, of which the followingis a specification.

y improvement relates to sounding toys.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my toy. Fig. 2 is aView showing a section ot' the same. Fig. 3 is a view of a modification.Figs. 4 and 5 are views of another modification.

The object of my invention is to produce a toy attractive to childrenand yet of cheap and durable construction.

The toy shown in Figs. l, 2, and 3 consists ot the two bells A A,mounted on each side of the wheel E, the wheel having a broad tire, sothat the bells are really within the wheel. The bells are held apart andat a certain distance from the wheels by the tubing -3 B, and all theparts are held together by the tube or rivet C, which passes throughthem'and is upset at its ends. A jinglet is in each bell. A draft-bar isfastened to the toy by bending the ends and inserting them in the endsof the tube which rivets the parts together. The wheel is made of asingle piece ot sheet metal, which is cut with a die so as to formteeth, which are then bent alternately to eachv side, forming a broadtire for the wheel, or can be made of two pieces, as in Fig. 3, whichare struck out and bent so as to make the tire when fastened together asshown. The bells ring as the toy is revolved by rolling or otherwise.Figs. et and 5 show a toy similarly constructed, except for the absenceof the supporting-wheel.

Serial No. 345,865. (No model.)

The two bells A A are held apart. by the 4o tubing B, and held togetherby the tube or rivet O,Which passes through the bells and tubing and isuptnrned or clinched at each end. Jinglets are put inside the bells.

The toy may be used as a ball or as a rattle, with a string passedthrough the tube C.

Ilaving thus described my invention, I claiml. The combination of twobells placed mouth to mouth, tubing holding them apart, and a hollowrivet passing through Vboth bells and tubing, upset at each end so as tohold the Y parts together.

2. The combination of a wheel having a recess on each side, and twobells, the bells being within the recesses of the wheel and the Wheelpassing between the bells, substantially as described.

3. The combination of a wheel, two bells, one on each side thereof,tubing holding the bells at certain distances from the wheel, and arivet holding all the parts together, substantially as described.

4. The combination ot the wheel E,the bells A A, the tubing B B, holdingthe bells at a certain distance from the wheels, the rivet C, and thedraft-bar, substantially as described.

5. In a toy, the wheel E, having atire made by bending projections onits periphery so that they are parallel to the axis ot' the wheel,substantially as described.

Signed this 27th day of March, 1890.
